Burnout explained: Signs, causes, and what helps

What is Burnout

Burnout is a word we hear more and more, but many people are not fully sure what it actually means or how to recognise it early. This video takes a clear and practical look at burnout, focusing on what it really is, how it shows up in everyday life, and why it is so often overlooked until it starts affecting your health.

What you’ll learn in this video

In this short but thoughtful video, we explore burnout in a simple and easy to understand way. Rather than dramatic claims or quick fixes, the focus is on awareness. Understanding burnout is the first step toward protecting your mental health, energy levels, and overall wellbeing. Many people continue pushing through stress without realising the toll it is taking on their body and mind. This video helps explain why that happens and what burnout can look like before it becomes overwhelming.

What are the signs

You will also hear about common warning signs that are often dismissed as just being tired or busy. These signs can quietly build over time and affect motivation, mood, focus, and daily functioning. Recognising them early can make a real difference.

The video also touches on gentle, supportive habits that can help ease burnout and support recovery, while making it clear that professional advice is always important when burnout feels intense or long lasting. This is not about replacing medical guidance, but about starting a healthier conversation around stress, rest, and self care.
